CALL The Midwife viewers were left devastated when a much-loved character left in the Christmas special.
The Christmas special of Call the Midwife was once again chaotic and full of drama as the nuns went about their duties.
Sister Frances was pushed to limit and ended up hurt as she tried to help a mother give birth
Sister Frances was under a lot of pressure as she tried to help a mother give birth.
Sister Frances was exhausted as she tried to pick up the slack after Sister Hilda (Fenella Woolgar) left Poplar.
Lucille insisted she would get there as soon as possible and Sister Frances rushed back to the mother in labour but she fell of her bike and broke her arm.
While Lucille arrived to help the mother in distress, Sister Frances was taken to the hospital for a check over.
Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) admitted Nonnatus House had pushed Sister Frances to breaking point.
Frances was then sent to Chichester to take a break from her midwife duties.
The nun was later seen getting into a taxi and being driven out of Poplar.
BBC viewers were in tears to see Sister Frances as she leaves Call the Midwife and took to Twitter to share their thoughts on her exit.
One tweeted: “If sister Frances leaves I swear to god I will sue someone #CallTheMidwife.”
Another wrote: “I can’t believe that. I’m crying at that episode.”
A third added: “God damn it call the midwife I’m tearing up #CallTheMidwife.”
The door has been left open for the young nun to return to Nonnatus House but for now she is taking a break.
